Admitted
Hi all – Sally was scheduled to have chemo and start steroids today, however after a rough week Nicole noticed early this morning that she was very pale. She was also whimpering, even when being held so Nicole decided to head in early. Turns out that Sally’s blood levels are very low and she developed […]
Busy Weekend
Hi all – since our update on Thursday, we had quite the busy weekend. On Friday night, Nicole and I attended Hope Fest, a fundraiser for pediatric cancer right here in Brooklyn. It was put on by Frankie’s Mission, one of the non-profits that contributed to Sally’s fundraiser in October. They featured a video that […]
Cycle 4 – Maintenance 1
Hi all – This morning Sally kicked off her 4th cycle of treatment, she received a spinal tap with an injection of chemo into her spine like she has many times in the past. With the first two months being 30-day cycles, and the last one being 60-day, she is now in her 5th month […]
Busy Week by Mama
Hi Everybody, This is Nicole. Sally has done well post three days of chemo. Overall she has been active and even eating a little.

Chemo Day 3

Red Devil
Hi all – Sally began Hell Week 2 of her cycle today. She will receive three straight days of heavy chemo, although can come home each night. Sally has had these types of chemo before, but never grouped together at once like this. Independently she suffered side effects from these, including fevers, so Nicole and […]
Improvement
Hi all – Nicole and I are about to try and head out to a local party in a bit. With adults only. A concept very foreign to us and is much needed after last weekend of hospital trips and a crazy week ahead. I just wanted to post a quick update as we haven’t […]
Fevers Coming and Going
